I have an above ground veggie garden in the backyard. Next to that I have a Strawberry field and a Container Blackberry. Now I began fruit trees in my front yard. Wow I underestimated the physical work and really hurt for some weeks. I'm in North Las Vegas and I'm so grateful that I began my food gardening education back in 2012. There's a lot to learn. I love all of it.
I really enjoyed how enthusiastic you were in this garden! You had a lot of admirable comments about Derrick’s garden and it really came through that you respected his methods. Very upbeat!
LV native here and am in love with Derrick's philosophies shared. He is definitely grounded and in tune with his growing plant food hobby. Inspiring!!! Thank you John for sharing Derrick's wisdom and experiences. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
I'm 100 percent with him when he said if I dies it's a learning experience....I started my permaculture yard over a year ago and everything has survived and thrived....we live in northern AZ so we get 2 extreme temperatures...my theory is if it dosent make it then it dosent need to be in my yard....micro climates are the way to have trees and plants grow
Had a friend live in Belize for two years. Shipped in second hand products from USA that they need. He loved it. Laid back friendly people who are always willing to share their rum and sacred herbs lol!
Derek and John thank you for this presentation. Derek, I'm from the USA originally and everywhere I've lived outside the USA has taught me to eat better and I'm now on a small property in Spain that is filled with fruit trees. There is a problem with imported harmful bugs and diseases also lack of water and the growing problem of desertification. People can ignore the signs but the truth is, the growers, intensive growers, do know that there is a climate change. People can deny it all they want but the proof is in the pudding. When you can't buy the seeds that are replanatable anymore, or buy certain products for growing meanwhile purchase of the organic fruit and vegetable is becoming less possible, then it's BIG sign so be alert. These resources starting from the basics are not readily available as they were before. Derek, bless you for your persistence and kindness to ecology.
I too am a Lv resident and really want to get into gardening not sure if I should just start or wait till next year, would love to have you come evaluate my backyard, it’s a very big backyard for Vegas but I’m not sure where I should put the garden, I will be custom buildings raised beds forsure 😂🤔 I guess trial and error is the way to go!, love your videos John! Thank you so much..
Thank you John for sharing Derrick & his beautiful garden with us. God has richly blessed him. We appreciate you sharing his wisdom with us so we can also be blessed . Two thumbs up!
When you walked through the gate, it was like entering paradise. Great informative video! I currently have a few fruit trees in pots that id like tonplant in the ground...looking for instruction!
Great video John. Really like Derrick. Thanks for sharring his excellect gardening tecknicks. Hope you can go back and visit him often, he is right around your alley 😊 Keep up the good work👍 God bless you 🤗
I love watching your videos and I love gardening this year is my third year of having a garden. Gardening has benefited my life so much. I do believe in God, God works through nature, God is nature, God is the universe, God is energy. Self sufficiency is key for a prosperous life for everyone on this planet. 🌺🌺🌺
also thank you for this lost. water is so expensive yet capable to creat a better future for all. this man is incredible as being able to keep it all growing and healthy after a freeze.
Love this video, really great. If we grow our own food we dont have to worry about food recall or traffic to go shopping. Love the information on this video, building the soil. ☺
when you say he is putting his food scraps right in there, is he burying them under the straw layers mostly? I also watch his videos and follow on FB. I am a vegas gardener too. I finally got my raised beds mulched after seeing how deep his mulching is. As the plants grow, I will be deepening it. The reduction in watering needs has already been significant. I like hand watering too, because it gives me time to check each plant for bugs and issues. While drip systems are great, some plants do not need as much as others. You are more than welcome to come see my small backyard beds, although I am not a youtuber. lol I think I have about 60 sqr feet of garden.
My gardening 'experiments' are in Greece. Long, hot, dry summers.Any stones I find whilst planting, I place at the base of my fruit trees, I mulch all my fruit-vegs plants.Mulch and stones keep moisture underneath. I put 95%sugar 5% Baking Soda with a little water as paste in a bottle on the ground for antbait. 12:30 Volcanic rocks for the minerals? 14:30 Bottle Brush plant.I also have avocadoes, coffee, mango,Lychee from seed,bamboo from seed and goji berries growing. Oranges lemons,kiwi,mulberries, alsorts here no problem. What is the latitude there?How does Derek deal with plant diseases?
At 14.20 the ornamental is one of the many Callistemon species - commonly referred to as a Bottlebrush. Flowers are heavy with nectar, great for nectar-feeders like hummingbirds and bees in your garden. Being from Australia they are fairly drought tolerant once established but can get very leggy if not pruned.
it comes and grows. and our knowlage gives us conecction toea h type and mainstrain. i love the colerd greens. add vinigar and turky after the thanks giving for nature.
Hey that's awesome !! I lived in apple valley and Hesperia , I lost a few tropicals around November 2018 but now I live in riverside , ca ... Glad to hear someone in the high desert growing tropicals !! Do you have an Instagram or RUclips channel ? Message me if you have a garden based Instagram !!
Alex Tovar its actually not that difficult, I got mangos chirimoya tropical avocado papaya sapote negro , the key is using a lot of mulch and organic fertilizer man
What’s the coldest it get in your neck of the woods tho? Las Vegas is also high desert and we been growing some tropical fruiting plants. Same with Tucson Az
Most importantly you have to be “one”with the universe to grow like that. If you have any type of bad vibes/frequency you will throw off the the plant’s frequency
Most folks from 3rd world countries they are used to cooking meals from scratch. And we don't grow things base on scientific knowledge, we take care of them from watching and helping our elders before. Currently I'm in central California where the average temperature ranging in the 90+-100+. Im a renter so i grow all in containers, all tropical veggies. One thing I noticed is that container grow requires more care and attention than those directly in a natural bed of dirt.
10:50 Physalis peruviana, has its origin in Peru. The plant and its fruit are commonly called Cape gooseberry, goldenberry, poha, and physalis, among numerous regional names. I have one too ;)
He doesn't need to keep the longan in the greenhouse. I kept my smaller longan outside all winter in Vegas and and it didn't sustain any cold damage. The lowest temperature recorded was 27 in my yard too. Jaboticaba and white sapote will survive without any damage as well.
Growing anything using metered water becomes quite expensive, but the agrochemicals are not there unless they are in the water. I wonder if the grower is allowed to have a cistern to store water from roof gutters. There are municipalities that are not allowing rain capture.
I'm not a global warming believer .... Weather changes.. sun spots folks.. BUT!!! To live your life taking care of our world, taking care of the garden and plants is a great thing and I very much respect. His soul seems to be connected to the earth and his garden. If I believed in sentient plants.. they'd be in his garden. I live in Phoenix.. just a year in this house and I'm trying to figure out gardening... This info was extremely helpful.. especially the experimenting with things.
praise the God and The maker of us all. and making life capable for us to live and breath. succses is so little after the makers make life down to earth.
actually we're going into a gsm - grand solar minimum, but there is always gonna be hot spells. over the past 12 months, we've had a record-breaking rainfall, more than any other time in 125 years. the flooding is a disaster for our farmers & will result in higher food costs. so thank you for showing us how to grow our own food.
@@VickiTakacs. i know what it is, weather warfare/manipulation is causing massive damage to our food supply and suffering to our ppl especially the farmers. nwo is trying to wipe out our farmers' crops & and farm animals so they can have control of the food supply eventually, but we're also in the early stages of a gsm too. there's lots of great info on the topic by credible (not nwo) scientists. iceage farmer on yt has many vids on the topic. we all must prepare and learn to grow our own food to become self-sustainable iceage farmer also has a discord listed on his yt page for more info.
@@RuralRuins I am right here in the Midwest and while only the northern part of my state had farmers flooded out, many states around us lost everything. The gov't did nothing to help them. I couldn't agree with you more. This was on purpose. With Trump signing that new bill giving Monsanto free rein it is obvious what they're up to and how they could possibly have more free rein than they already have is ridiculous so I can only surmise it has to do with us not being able to sue them. I saw a video a while back of a forest that had been poisoned and totally destroyed so that they could put in gmo trees but they were struggling. (Dan Wigginton) Trump sent one of his henchmen to wreak this havoc. I could cheerfully bitch slap Trump til his head falls off.
@@RuralRuins This insanity also hit the deep south and one homestead I follow had a lot of loss on their fruit trees but surprisingly they got buds on them again. Well, some of them did and some of the farmers are adjusting crops and methods to try and work with this weather. Even he was flooded out later and lost crops and the thing is that the snow melt in Wyoming is late but when it does happen, oh my, not good for us down here.
"How a park should look like" I agree parks should have gardens of different flowers and fruits of all kinds. First of all it will teach our children and create jobs at the same time.
i live in MA.westfield i have 8 year old avacado 2 paypaya 3 pineapple pomagrant ,lemon , lime, orange,paw paw,4 type raspberry, 4 blueberry, 3strawberry 2 goji berry, current, kiwi, grapes,peach,plum,pear,apple cherry,fig,elderberry,logan berry,dill sage ,rosemary,mint,spearmint,thyme,episodae,buckwheat,winter rye n peas, clover,60 sun flw 5 kinds,25 melon 8 kinds then 50 kinds of vegi most many diffrent kinds,11 types toms 60 plants 5 typebean 4 cuc,, blaa blaa blaaa chef 38 years live on 1/2 acre down town ,chickens free compost at work my soil owwwww,smoking oh lots of room to play p ball with dog,,,,l,,,, wow paw paw does not taste like mango no no banana cream pie and much more and yes ive tasted all fruit but 3 on the list soon 2
I can’t follow, you repeat yourself, the yard is a Hot mess of disorganization, and you didn’t educate on anything! Besides naming all the plants. Terrible waste of time video.
look at that smog! talking about store-bought food tasting like crap... how about papaya in Oregon? I always thought papaya tasted horrible until I went travelling & got some ripe from nearby farms!
How I wish I can grow tropical trees but can’t cause I live In an apartment in scorching hot Arizona. And whatever plants I buy end up being invaded by annoying little gnats. 😐
I prevent gnats from invading plant container by growing all in terra-cotta pots with cactus potting soil and an inch of pure sand on the top and bottom of the container. Sand and perlite can be mixed in to enhance drainage.
But they can grow without protection once they become bigger. Like Phoenix, Az Vegas can potentially grow more than just ordinary citrus and palm trees.
Update: my own dragon fruit vine in Las Vegas flowered and fruited for the first time last year. Zero frost protection for 5+ years and still going. Beat that doubter! XD

Recent subscriber here and just have to say how much I LOVE your enthusiasm. I learn a lot from you and you make it fun. Thanks :-)
At 14.20 the ornamental is one of the many Callistemon species - commonly referred to as a Bottlebrush. Flowers are heavy with nectar, great for nectar-feeders like hummingbirds and bees in your garden. Being from Australia they are fairly drought tolerant once established but can get very leggy if not pruned.
Great garden.
Love Derrick's use of lava rock-sort of quantum ag style. Thanks for sharing John!
Fascinating video, thank you. John, have you seen anyone in Las Vegas have success with avocado trees? If so, what kind have they grown?
it comes and grows. and our knowlage gives us conecction toea h type and mainstrain. i love the colerd greens. add vinigar and turky after the thanks giving for nature.
Awesome video , you should come to high desert, southern Cali there is a lot of us growing tropical fruit trees 🤠
Hey that's awesome !! I lived in apple valley and Hesperia , I lost a few tropicals around November 2018 but now I live in riverside , ca ... Glad to hear someone in the high desert growing tropicals !! Do you have an Instagram or RUclips channel ? Message me if you have a garden based Instagram !!
Alex Tovar its actually not that difficult, I got mangos chirimoya tropical avocado papaya sapote negro , the key is using a lot of mulch and organic fertilizer man
What’s the coldest it get in your neck of the woods tho? Las Vegas is also high desert and we been growing some tropical fruiting plants. Same with Tucson Az
nice to meat you
i grow snow pees for the CA wintwrs and they love it.
Derrick is the man
Most importantly you have to be “one”with the universe to grow like that. If you have any type of bad vibes/frequency you will throw off the the plant’s frequency
This is so good!
hello daddy
Great vid gotta come back for updates
14:24 Bottlebrush - Birds & Bees love it
I always type "growing (whatever plant I'm into at the moment) in Las Vegas" in youtube's search. 🤣
Wow, what a show, excellent my friend Whitney owns an island in Belize, he manufactures liquor. Great show! Thanks your shows are the best.☺💩

Love the video John, absolutely love your message. I agree, gotta encourage everyone to grow your own food. Kick the fast food

Ikr. So does moringa, lychee and several other tropical plants that I use to thought would fry in the cold.
Dude man if your ever in DFW TX let me know. We need to hang out bro. Keep your vids up bro. I'm barely getting into gardening man.

Hey, John when are you visiting sfbayarea? I'd like for you to visit my place here in Hayward, CA
Nice video tanks, greetings from the Netherlands zone 8A.
Why haven't I seen you grow any dragon fruit or starfruit ? I would think they would grow well there
He did grew starfruit and it just started to fruit this year.
Fast Food America soo True!
But what about growing winter plants in tropics? For example strawberries, grapes and blurberries..
What can I put into my compost tumbler to spread up the composting process?
I have asparagus 6 years old and still alive in the open 115 hot sun Imperialcounty,ca desert .

@@VickiTakacs. and I agree with all you just said. it's all so tiresome : ((
Pressure cook the beans, done in a fraction of the time.

....inside a greenhouse.
That block wall must hold its share of heat/cold....!
I can’t follow, you repeat yourself, the yard is a Hot mess of disorganization, and you didn’t educate on anything! Besides naming all the plants. Terrible waste of time video.
"Luckily I have no wife or girlfriend..." HAHAHAHAH
The intro reminded me of the beginning of breaking bad
😍
Unnecessary intro, you didn't tell us about his grandma
Miracle Crap!!! LOL
Zutano shouldn't even be called an avocado. It's so disappointing.
look at that smog!
talking about store-bought food tasting like crap... how about papaya in Oregon? I always thought papaya tasted horrible until I went travelling & got some ripe from nearby farms!
Coastal southern Oregon is actually zone 9a.
How I wish I can grow tropical trees but can’t cause I live In an apartment in scorching hot Arizona. And whatever plants I buy end up being invaded by annoying little gnats. 😐
I prevent gnats from invading plant container by growing all in terra-cotta pots with cactus potting soil and an inch of pure sand on the top and bottom of the container. Sand and perlite can be mixed in to enhance drainage.
Apples in Las Vegas ...what!?
The Mexican race can usually handle it down to 18 degrees. The Guatemalan and West Indian races are not cold hardy
But with lots of dieback on branch and limbs. ~23F seems to be the limit for the most cold hardiest of avocados before it goes south really quick.
Oh wow, no closed caption. Bye.
First!
Dragon fruit won’t make it during the winter in Vegas unless they are SUPER protected
But they can grow without protection once they become bigger. Like Phoenix, Az Vegas can potentially grow more than just ordinary citrus and palm trees.
Update: my own dragon fruit vine in Las Vegas flowered and fruited for the first time last year. Zero frost protection for 5+ years and still going. Beat that doubter! XD
coffee? i love my peets vut im down to grow.
i like colubian and peets midium roast.
Does he have issues with rats??
That was in the green House john, we wanted to see growing up from not having protect. That is not green thumb 👇!
